Raw results: Triple H to battle Punk

TULSA, Okla. – As
if Triple H isn’t busy enough. Not only did WWE’s Chief Operating Officer figure prominently
throughout the first ever Raw SuperShow, combining Superstars from both Raw and
SmackDown, he also informed one Superstar that he’ll be hanging up the suit and tie to square off in three weeks at Night of Champions.

Punk he will face him at Night of Champions (WATCH)
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. WWE COO Triple H informed
CM Punk at the end of the night that he had spoken with WWE’s Board of
Directors – CM Punk’s match against Kevin Nash at Night of Champions had been
canceled. Instead, Punk will be facing a different opponent, Triple H himself!

John Cena & Sheamus
def. Christian & Mark Henry (WATCH | PHOTOS)In an unprecedented pairing, John Cena teamed up with Sheamus to take on
Christian & Mark Henry in the night’s main event. Mr. John Laurinaitis thought he'd arranged the match, but he was sternly reminded by WWE COO Triple H that not only had he already arranged the match, he is also still the boss. Nonetheless, with four of WWE’s most potent Superstars clashing
inside the ring, the bout rocked the BOK Center to its foundation. With The
World’s Strongest (and possibly scariest) Man inducting more Superstars in his
“Hall of Pain,” punishment was sure to be doled out. Although Henry did not disappoint, his
overwhelming strength would not be enough. Cena managed to lead his team across
the finish line by pinning former World Heavyweight Champion Christian.

Brie Bella – so beautiful, so talented, so completely devious. As her sister
Nikki hovered ringside, the Bella twin battled WWE Divas Champion Kelly Kelly,
who was cheered on by Eve. In the non-title bout, Brie and her sister used Twin
Magic to fool the referee and score a cheap victory.

WWE Tag Team
Champions Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne def. David Otunga & Michael
McGillicutty (WATCH | PHOTOS)Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne are for real. The new WWE Tag Team
Champions – officially named Air Boom, thanks to suggestions from the WWE
Universe – were forced to defend their championships against David Otunga &
Michael McGillicutty in a title rematch. Air Boom rained down their aerial
assault on the former champions and managed to retain in their first-ever title
defense.

After the match, Otunga took issue with announcer Jerry Lawler, ripping off his headphones, after the WWE Hall of Famer had mocked the losing team as "boring."

Sin Cara def. Jack
Swagger (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Jealousy once again reared its ugly head – and took a bite out of Jack Swagger.
In his ongoing attempt to woo Vickie Guerrero to manage him, Swagger took on
Sin Cara. As Vickie observed from ringside, her current associate, U.S.
Champion Dolph Ziggler berated her and belittled her new potential client.
Ziggler even went so far as to distract The All-American American. The interruption
allowed Sin Cara to capitalize for an easy victory.

CM Punk def. The Miz
by Disqualification (WATCH | PHOTOS)The downside of speaking your mind is that you make a lot of enemies. CM
Punk learned that the hard way when he battled The Miz. The blunt Superstar
admirably kept pace with his opponent until R-Truth tipped the scales. Miz’s
co-conspiracy theorist attacked The Second City Saint in an effort to make a
statement and allowing Punk the win by disqualification. As if that weren’t
enough abuse, Kevin Nash joined the party and rendered his tormentor motionless
with a powerbomb in the center of the ring.

John Cena called out
WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio; SmackDown Superstars interrupted (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Integrating SmackDown Superstars on Raw is a boon for the WWE Universe. For
John Cena, though? Not so much. The Cenation Commander-in-Chief demanded that
WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio face him after Del Rio’s cowardly ambush the week
before. Instead, Mark Henry emerged and threatened to add Cena to his “Hall of
Pain.” Then it was Christian’s turn. Captain Charisma took the mic to discuss
how he will soon be the new face of the WWE after he overcomes World
Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton tomorrow night in a Steel Cage Title Match on
SuperSmackDown.

Just as he and Henry began to size up Cena as a punching
bag, Sheamus flew into the ring to thwart his SmackDown adversaries, who
reluctantly fled the squared circle.

World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton def. US
Champion Dolph Ziggler in a Non-Title Match (WATCH | PHOTOS)
As part of Monday night’s groundbreaking Raw Supershow, a new initiative combining
Superstars from Raw and SmackDown, World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton clashed
with U.S. Champion Dolph Ziggler in a non-title match. The SmackDown Superstar
appeared surprisingly evenly matched against his Raw counterpart as Ziggler’s
outspoken manager, Vickie Guerrero, looked on. Although the U.S. Champion
failed to best The Viper, one Raw Superstar looked pleased – Vickie’s potential
new client, Jack Swagger, who watched the bout from a monitor in the locker
room area. (Prior to the bout, Orton RKO’d Zack Ryder, as seen in this WWE.com Exclusive)

Triple H announced
the Raw SuperShow; arranged CM Punk vs. Kevin Nash at Night of Champions (WATCH | PHOTOS)
Friendship can be a lot of work, especially if you’re friends with Kevin Nash. After
making a major announcement that moving forward the Superstars of both Raw and
SmackDown will appear on Monday Night Raw, WWE COO Triple H demanded that his
longtime pal offer him an apology in front of the WWE Universe for lying to him
last week. The former WWE Champion emerged and admitted that, yes, he had his
driver tell Mr. John Laurinitais he’d been in a car accident to get Triple H
out of the arena. He did so, he said, in order to payback CM Punk for
embarrassing him earlier in the night. Although Nash confessed to the deception,
he continued to maintain that he did not know who had sent him a text message
instructing him to attack Punk two weeks earlier.

For his part, The Second City Saint wasn’t biting. Instead,
he accused The Game and Nash of being in cahoots. Despite their fervent
differences, however, Punk and Nash did agree on one thing. Both were exceedingly
in favor of the WWE COO arranging a match between them at Night of Champions.
After giving the proposal some thought, Triple H agreed and arranged for the
two to face off in three weeks.
